Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland is a very rare condition. A case of a 47-year-old female with a history of a euthyroid multi-nodular goitre is presented. The patient developed hoarseness due to right recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, confirmed with indirect laryngoscopy. On repeated ultrasound, volumetric progression of a dominant nodule in the inferior part of the right thyroid lobe was noticed. Fine needle aspiration was inconclusive. Diagnosis was ultimately based on histopathology of the surgical resection specimen.
甲状腺结核是一种非常罕见的疾病。本文介绍了一例47岁女性病例，该患者有甲状腺功能正常的多结节性甲状腺肿病史。患者因右侧喉返神经麻痹出现声音嘶哑，间接喉镜检查得以证实。经反复超声检查，发现右甲状腺叶下部一个优势结节的体积有所增大。细针穿刺活检结果不明确。最终诊断基于手术切除标本的组织病理学检查。
